Aaaaugh!

ZOMG! Just a quick post to say I'm home from Azkatraz. Last night there was a horrific hail/wind storm here, and what was once a pretty nice honeylocust tree in our back yard is now prostrate on the lawn (having barely missed the house, thank god), as are numerous trees in the area. Any summer flower (and my special daylily bed in particular) is trashed. No vegetable garden. There are just leaves everywhere - on the lawns, in the street, plastered on the house - and the whole town smells woody like fallen trees.

Pictures forthcoming. Until then you can read about it here. A lot of those photos are from right around me.

Great quote: "It was wild," the 73-year-old said as she surveyed the damage at her home on Jellison Street near West 32nd Avenue on Tuesday. "It was just like one of those Harry Potter movies."

Hey there! It was so incredibly amazing to get to talk to you, although the opportunity to sit down and have a real natter didn't really arise. I love the idea of catching up with you and the UK gang sometime before I need a zimmer frame. I have hopes.

You are an amazing and gracious lady. It was a real honour. :D

I was so happy that I got to meet you, too, plus get a photo of us together. I just dumped my pictures to my hard drive and keep thinking, didn't I take more? What was wrong with me!
